It's a convenient standard for bridge circuits. Also, it allows the instrumentation mechanic to know if a sensor circuit is open, because that channel will read 0ma instead of the lower limit of 4ma.

Why 20 degree centigrade is written on measuring cylinder?

QUESTION;why 20 degree centigrade writtenon measuring cylinder? ANSWER: Measuring cylinder. 20 degree centigrade is written on the measuring cylinder because every instrument having a particular temprature where that equipment is kept and work on it measuring cylinder having 20 degree C on it beacause it is the accurate temprature of measuring cylinder and in this tepmrature working on measuring cylinder is possible.

How do you find the range when your median is 20?

There is no direct relationship between the range and the median. So knowing that your median is 20 does not automatically give you the range. The median is just the middle value. That does not tell you what the first and last values are, which is what you need to know to find the range. The median of 19, 20 and 21 is 20, and the range is 2. The median of 4, 20 and 79 is also 20, but the range is 75. The median of 8, 16, 17, 23, 50 and 320 is also 20, but the range is 312. So, as you can see, the Median in no way can tell you what the range will be. You need to know what all of the numbers are, or at least the lowest and highest to know the range.
